'When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses not zebras' - the old adage is well-known to GPs but what should you do when faced with a zebra, not a horse? Consultant cardiologist Professor Robert Tulloh and GP Dr Louise Tulloh kick off our new series with their advice on how to catch Kawasaki disease in general practice.

15:20 A report on the state of mental healthcare in England, published today by the CQC, has warned that too many patients are in locked up units far from their home.

The CQC also warned that patients stay on the wards for too long, at an average of 341 days, leaving patients at risk of becoming 'institutionalised' and with less of a chance of rehabilitation into society.

It also warned that a third of mental health services needed improvements related to patient safety, reports the BBC.

He said: 'We can't say exactly how many of the people on these wards don't need to be in locked facilities, but we do suspect that quite a high proportion of people in these services could, and should be, moved back to be much closer to home and be cared for in residential settings that provide much more independence, and also be supported by community services rather than being in hospital.'

Dr Andrew Molodynski, national mental health lead of the BMA’s consultants’ committee, said: 'The findings in this report echo those from our investigation into out of area placements for adults receiving mental health care and the unacceptable increases in patients treated for mental illness in an unfamiliar place, far from friends and family.

'While we support the Government’s aims to eliminate out-of-area placements, this is not due to happen until 2020-21 and patients are being failed by a system at breaking point right now, which shows limited signs of improving.'

11:45 BMA chair Dr Chaand Nagpaul has also taken to Twitter to congratulate his former deputy.
